A big hug for you today. I understand that you are struggling with caring for your son as he is very angry. I am so sorry. I too have experienced anger towards my loved ones whilst I have been locked up in mental wards. As a family we have moved through those times but it’s not easy on anyone. Love to you sweet lady 💜

A hug for you. Wondering how Cat’s special garden has progressed?

Oh @Oaktree It is so lovely to hear from you. 😁💖 Cat's garden is not progressing at all. I intended to get some done these holidays but have had other things that needed to be seen to. I am actually planning on doing some tomorrow and Thursday if the rain holds off. There are some blackberries coming through that need to be sprayed and then removed before I can do anymore. They will take a few weeks to die and then I can remove them. So my current plan is to do that these holidays, fill it all in after I remove them, let the dirt settle and get into it on weekends when I can.
How are you Hon?

Hi @Zoe7
Sorry to hear about the weeds invading Cat’s garden. Hopefully you can get that sorted soon. Overall I have been well but it takes just little things to upset my apple cart. Last week I was told all my mental health clinic appointments would be via Telehealth. Not knowing anything about it led to a period of slight depression and uncertainty. On Monday I had my first Telehealth appointment and it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting so that is a positive. Luckily for me my case manager didn’t know what she was doing either so we figured it out together. Now I have a psychologist appointment coming up on Thursday. Wait and see how that goes I guess. How have things been with you?

Telehealth appointments can be difficult @Oaktree so I am glad you didn't find it too bad. I hope you get something out of your psychologist appointment Hon - they can be distressing too so give yourself plenty of self-care both before and afterwards.
I am okay. Been a hard couple of weeks as my uncle passed away just over 2 weeks ago. There was no funeral or service so it has been difficult to deal with it on our own. I have been trying to get things ready for school but the carpet is still to be replaced from when it flooded late last year (supposed to be done by Friday) - so unable to get in, set things up and get organised. It is really frustrating but I cannot do anything about it so just doing what I can at home and will have to spend time next Monday and Tuesday getting things organised before the kids come back on Wednesday. We apparently have a little time in our classrooms on both days but I will need to stay late both days to get it all done. Going to be a looong week 😔
